ACK!

I am 14 hours away from surgery. 14 hours away from changing my life FOREVER - and I don't mean just having some mole removed either. It's been a very interesting day. Things around me are so normal. I am doing laundry, washing dishes, playing with Sarah, checkin' in on some of my favorite blogs... and in the middle of all this normalcy I have twinges of panic. Maybe I am having twinges of normalcy and most my day has been panic?! I am not sure. I just know that I am nervous, excited, nervous, calm, nervous, and nervous. I just want everything to be ok. Some say I should be more concerned about the days that follow - I say, just give me days to follow to be concerned about!

In my heart of hearts I know I will be ok. But I am scared.

But enough of all that garbly gunk - I just wanted to let everyone know I will be out of commission for a bit. You know, healing and all. However, the G-liscious - otherwise known as Dear Gina - will be posting on here for me. At least to let ya'll know I am honky dory.

Now I am off to take some before pictures.

Happy Happy New Year to everyone - please be safe, have lots of fun!

And absolutely unrelated (?) to anything - I wanted to share a quote from a skinny hazelnut latte I had a couple days ago - it stuck with me and made me smile. I hope it makes you smile too:

“The way we get to live forever is through memories stored in the hearts and souls of those whose lives we touch. That’s our soul print. It’s our comfort, our emotional nourishment at the end of the day and the end of a life. How wonderful that they are called up at will and savored randomly. It seems to me we should spend our lives in a conscious state of creating these meaningful moments that live on. Memories matter.”
